Since it has the text "This mount changes depending on Riding skill and location." it can mean it's flying too =)

Comment by yoyellow

i just got this, it flies at epic speed if u have that :D

Comment by Kurazi11

just got mine today too off our second summon, looks similar to the kara mount but it flys! :)

Comment by ChaosWing

Server first on Bloodscalp. Got it about an hour after the events started, dropped on second summon. Was 3 manning with my brothers, an arms warrior and a boomkin. Fights took about 3 minutes each. I'm a lucky fool. Good luck to everyone else! =P

Does anyone know the drop rate for this item?

Comment by texanwmn

The drop rate cannot be too bad, there are already 5+ people on our server with them.

Comment by apparentbliss

Even if "the drop rate cannot be too bad," it still must be quite, quite low. Though anecdotally, both I and a guild mate have the reins, that's not exactly useful information, due to the fickle nature of the RNG. According to this blue post, "the Horseman's mount is ten times as rare as the Squashling, in terms of pure numbers." Just from personal experience over the 75ish runs I have made over the past several days, I make the educated guess that the squashling pet is at most a 14-16% drop, and I would not be surprised if the drop rate was 10% or lower. This makes the Reins, at best, a less-than-2% drop. All of this is pure conjecture, of course, but short of getting inside the servers it is probably about as accurate as we will get.

Comment by Sultic

i dont believe that the droprate on the mount is all that bad, its been 3 days into event and we have at least 3 ppl in my guild with this mount and i have been seeing lots of other players with the mount with it only being the 3rd or 4th day into the event but the squashling and hallowed helm seem impossible to get

Comment by baconpride

that's the thing it's all the luck of the draw....just in my about 25 runs since the first day i have seen about 6 hallowed helms and 3 squashlings.....and 1 mount that i was fortunate enough to win

Comment by Roflcopteer3500

If i kill this boss lets say.. 20 times per day about on which day would it probably drop?

Comment by Zaea

rofl: you could kill him 20 times per day for the entire time that hallow's end is going on, you still MIGHT never see the horse drop. its all about the RNG so you cant really pinpoint a specific day that it would drop on.

Comment by Fwibbles

I see scrubs in greens with this.Its more or less a feat of strength as bending a paper clip.W E L F A R E B O S S -not much 'strength' or 'skill'

Comment by Avitar

Feat of RNG

Comment by MorbidDesire

Its a random drop.Low, but random. Got this on my 4th run. There's always next year!

Comment by Pallis

Its over for this year but i ran this thing dozens of times a day, i killed him a good 500-700 times before it dropped once, and that was on holloween. I seen the sword like 20 times the squashling like 20 times and the helmet probly 30 times and the hollowed helm about 60 times and only 1 mount, which i got

Comment by Boycik

I've already got this one. Actually I'm proud of it, though I hope Blizzard will change some details of this mount the next event so that not to look just as the one from the previous year's event, for instance its colours in order to be able to recognise which Horseman's Mount is from which year etc. Look, I - as a person who has it - do not want everyone to have it (it can sound a bit selfish). Every year the number of ppl who have it will rise and soon this mount will lose its charm... (as I can call it so). So, I think every owner will agree with me. Do not remove this mount from drop, only change some details not to look the same, just similar to the one from the previous year's event!

Comment by Durh

i did him 5 times every day during the whole event but i didnt even see it drop :( but i saw sinister Squashling drop 2 times per day.....

Comment by Estren

What about giving the mount arround the group, that all get this achievement?^^

Comment by Mongatsumi

You can use this script to link you have completed it! It's fake though.

Comment by Snowie

This Droprate is Quite Low - if you killed yourself for a brewfest mount, well, Your going to have to kill yourself even more for this. 0.4 Droprate. If you round up 400 people, i guarentee 1,2 or none of them will have this.

THe Headless Horseman is a boss during Hallows end in which you kill once every day (well 5 times, because each person gets one summon, again, like brewfest) . . . . . . .

Also, Please dont ninja, someone might become veerrry upset =(

Comment by neenach2002

Got the mount on like my 5th or 6th day, each day my group summoned him 5-6 times. I ended up selling it to someone in my party for 7500 gold. Stupid? Maybe, but I saw the mount drop (which doesn't happen often) and I really didn't care that much about having it.

Comment by Redhawk

I got this a while back (this year) the first time I did HH for the year...I can confirm that he does fly. (Only if my account was still active i would post a picture).Sadly, the game must have a punishment for such a treat, and my time ran out before i could finish Hollow's End Title =(.BUT..I can CONFIRM that he flies, has no fangs, and is seemingly different from the Fiery Warhorse.

Comment by Siedjeey

I did the HH boss each day during the holiday and i saw it drops only ONCE!I hate Blizzard for their damn low droprates.... I really thought it was a prank untill I actually saw it drop...Hope they'll change the droprate next year.

Comment by Meldo

Blizzard made an really interesting announcement about the future of eventbosses!

Just to clarify some misconceptions about this new functionality, the summoning of holiday bosses is going away. Players can queue for these bosses via the Dungeon Finder or special holiday NPCs found in the world. Once the party is finalized, the group will be ported directly to the area where the holiday boss resides. Players can kill the holiday bosses as often as they want for standard loot (epic rings, trinkets, etc.), however, they will only drop one holiday-themed loot trove per player per day. These loot troves will have a chance of containing rare holiday items such as The Horseman's Reins.

On the one hand this means, you no langer can take alts and let them summon the boss to get your the mount/ pet etc. but on the other it also means that you no longer need to roll against your group mates which increases the chance of getting a rare drop incredibly, if they dont lower the dropchance.

well after witnessing this year's brewfest, these "rare" mounts seems to have become a complete joke tbh.I have a couple of duplet rams in the bank now and on one of my alts I got both the ram and the kodo in the same loot-trove.

I was happy getting this mount on my old main, because it's always fun to have something really rare. especially from holiday events, because people can only farm those for a very limited amount of time per year.

now, all you need to do is click the dungeon finder once per day and you'll most likely get it during the holiday event unless you are extremely unlucky.

I don't understand why they would do this. it just takes away everything that is truly unique about getting something like this.

Comment by Ashvael

Confirmed the mount now drops from the bag.

A friend of me got it on our first run tonight, wondering if it was just really lucky or if the droprate got buffed to compensate for the only "once/day".

Comment by whitehusky

This mount now drops from the loot bag you receive from killing the boss. You can only get the bag once per day. Subsequent attempts to kill the boss will not result in more loot bags, so it would be a waste of time if this is the only item you're after.

Comment by Caedrion

Regarding the drop % beeing increased i can confirm ( if any1 still had doubts ) the mount droped form my gf and me on the same run , was pretty happy that she got it as she opened the bag 1st just to scream a huge LOL when i opened mine and i got it as well! Btw it looks epic on a shadow priest =)

Happy farming every1 !

Comment by Devinedragoon

Ok now this is straight up bull a friend of mine comes back after 3 months and gets the mount in the first show on 2 toons in the same day. i've done it on 4 toons a days since monday and nothing.

Comment by ivkoni

I just have it on my mage on Emeriss EU. I did only a few runs (4-8).

Comment by Ares2112

You're either lying or incredibly stupid. You only get one chance at the mount a day from the loot bag so 4-8 runs wouldn't help at all.

Not sure why this was down rated. he edited his post to not look like an idiot.

Comment by Jakesterwars

3 years.. just 3 years farming this mount and on the first day I do a Headless Horseman run I get it in the Pumpkin bag. I didn't know how to react. It was either be angry because it was that easy to get after so long, or relieved because I didn't have to do it anymore.

Comment by Ownedhs

More drops Rate.. like 10% would be good!

Comment by Vishtara

Won it when you had to manually summon the horseman in SM in 2009. No longer have that account since I got rid of it when I quit the game. Started playing again in 2010 >.< Fresh.

Every year since, I was depressed seeing other people with it because I didn't have it anymore, and the chance I would get it again was very freaking low. I ran the daily HH on countless toons to no avail for 2 years, with nothing but tricky treats and 50,000 brooms, to try and get it again.

This year I figured it was pointless to even bother, because it has such a low droprate, and actually forced myself to queue. Watched loot rolls from each group and didn't see one drop since the event began. That didn't help. I only have 2 90's so the fact that the xpack was released right before the event made me even more bitter. I was actually going to skip it today, and when I opened my pumpkin bag I was more or less at least hoping for a helm to d/e for enchanting mats.

When I looted the bag and saw that familiar icon appear, I thought I was dreaming. I actually screamed and my husband thought something was wrong with me. Just keep trying guys, it can happen. Account wide means you will never have to do the HH boss again except for other loot when you do get it. Cheers!
